As you may have noticed, I have been going on a little bit of a poll kick as we near the playoffs. Considering we have completed over three quarters of the season now, I thought it would be best to start whittling down the key performers of the season and t…

Time for a dive into the Shark Tank tonight as the Predators are in San Jose for a critical west coast showdown. San Jose’s playoff berth is a foregone conclusion, now their playing for position. They will get either the number one or number two seed in the Western Conference, no doubt there. I do wonder if the Sharks really want the number one seed and the pressures that go along with it……

Good win for the Preds last night… hell, any win is a good win to stabilize a team heading into an area where they traditionally struggle.

The team is in San Jose and getting settled in for tomorrow night’s game against the Sharks.

Who is Your Cup Favorite?

With approximately 15 games remaining in the NHL’s regular season, there doesn’t seem to be a better time than right now to find out who YOU think has the best chance of winning the Stanley Cup?

Here is a set of 3 polls, based on the 3 brackets of current contenders(based on current point standings and pre-season odds):

The hot topic right now for the Tampa Bay Lightning might be Steven Stamkos, thanks to the hot hand that has him on pace for a 51-goal sophomore season.

The impact of Steve Downie as a well-rounded force, offensively, physically and otherwise, might be the surprise story of their season.

And a reinvigorated Vincent Lecavalier down the stretch, sparked by the under-the-radar arrival of Teddy…

The million dollar question among fans and media alike is whether or not the Blues can find a way to slide into the playoffs. It won’t be long before we find out.

It’s pretty hard to pick apart the way the Blues have been playing as of late. Winners of five of their last six games the Blues have once again asserted themselves into becoming part of the playoff picture.

When talking to B…

So, the Jeff Vinik era as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning got off to an 0-1 start with Thursday’s loss to Washington.

So what?

The Caps are, well, the Caps. And, though there was certainly some sloppiness, the Lightning hung tight in that game, battling back from several deficits and showing some real character throughout.

A timely save or two down the stretch would have aided the cau…

18 teams were in action on Thursday night in the National Hockey League. Home teams finished with a sparkling 7-1-1 record, with the Stars suffering the only loss in regulation among the nine hosts.

It’s the end of an era, there’s no doubt about it. We’ve become accustomed to a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, but the San Jose Sharks didn’t even make a mouse fart before the NHL trade deadline yesterday. They acquired Niclas Wallin from the Carolina Hurricanes for a second-round pick last month, and shipped Jody Shelley to the New York Rangers for a late-round pick before the Olym…

I think some fans are slightly shocked that the St. Louis Blues have so quickly moved on from a player who was so highly regarded just a few short months ago.

When you think about Aaron Palushaj, a former 2nd round pick out of Michigan, you think about a player the organization had categorized as a big part of the future moving forward.

I’ll never forget members of the management staff r…

To no surprise Toronto forward Alexei Ponikarovsky has been told he will be moved. Sources close to the Maple Leaf tell me it’s down to 2 or three teams and the deal is likely to do down sometime in the morning. There are a few deals on the table and word is Brian Burke is in the process of deciding which way he wants to go. One team is believed to be the Los Angeles Kings.

Join me at your leisure on deadline day here.

I’ll be in and out throughout the day, passing along whatever word I get on any potential or actual Lightning moves and my usual snide commentary on whatever else is going on tomorrow.

We’ll have plenty to discuss, I’m sure.

Stay tuned.

We’re back to reality tonight as the San Jose Sharks take on the New Jersey Devils, and I know everybody’s anxious to fire up the NHL season. However, before the Sharks resume their inevitable march to playoff failure, I thought it would be interesting to grade each of the team’s Olympic participants. As always, we’ll start with the good news.

Good Afternoon…..

Colorado is shopping Marek Svatos who has pretty much been relegated to fourth line duties in recent games. Not sure he has much value but there could be a team out there who believes he can still score.

There is some chatter that Washington could move Tomas Fleishman but there’s nothing to it. He’s not going anywhere.

Good morning.

Word around the NHL is that there are currently 10 teams who consider themselves buyers, five who consider themselves sellers, while the rest of the teams are still trying to determine what they want to do.

Most Gm’s (if they were doing their job) did most of their work prior to the Olympics and spent most of Monday following up with the teams they feel they can get a deal…
